| Abstract |
This study focuses on the origin of prograding shelfbreaks on passive margins, using as examples selected seismic sections recorded on Iberian Atlantic and Western Mediterranean margins. Five main factors appear to control shelf progradation: 1) the amount and nature of sediment contributed to the outer shelf; 2) the equilibrium depth at which sedimentary particles come to rest; 3) the morphology of the margin; 4) the geological activity of the margin; 5) the eustatic sealevel changes. |
